I expect that this might create a bit of a resurgence in its popularity.

By comparison my 270wsm (Sako A7, 22" barrel) is achieving 3130fps with the 145eldx. I could push it a bit more but Im at a nice accuracy node. I guess the only advantage of the wsm is that its doing it easily when the standard .270 is at its max.

But then again I'm using a bucket of powder to do it.

wow that's really not far off what I'm getting with my standard .270 145g ELDX @2930fps F all in it if you ask my that wasn't a hot load and there was room to stoke it up more but it's very accurate so I'm more than happy with it.
no pressure signs at all.

Exactly. You wouldn’t keep up with the 150 grn though. I get the same velocity with them as the 145.
